Welcome to the 6th American Diabetes Association's Disparities Partnership Forum. We are very excited about our 2013 forum! The American Diabetes Association has convened forums that provide platforms to address the severe onset of type 2 diabetes in high-risk populations.

In 2013, the Association will be holding its 6th Disparities Partnership Forum, entitled Overcoming Diabetes: Diabetes Care in High Risk Populations. This year’s Forum will focus on cultural competency, health equity and health literacy as it relates to health care and social determinants of health. Participants will be exposed to Hispanic/Latino, African American, Asian American Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander and American Indian/Alaska Native thought leaders and practitioners. Come join us for this unique opportunity to learn more and help Stop Diabetes®.
